BBC vs. Nigel Farage

Now another BBC interviewer has tried exactly the same character assassination technique against Nigel Farage that Andrew Neil used a couple of days ago against Ben Shapiro. Dredging up old quotes instead of addressing the current issue or his arguments. Farage reacts in a similar fashion, although more temperately.

This blog has been very active recently. More active than I would like; I have other things to do. But it seems to me we are witnessing a revolution, and matters are changing now almost moment by moment. The real establishment, the professional elite, the "deep state," the ancien regime, is panicked, and is discarding any pretense of ethics or good will. We are more or less at the moment at which the Czar's troops fire on the crowd.

How bad is it going to get before the inevitable collapse?

Latest polls suggest Farage's newly created "Brexit" Party may blow away both Conservatives and Labour at the upcoming EU vote. A party only weeks old. If a national election were held today, polls suggest he might even defeat them both and become PM. It looks as though the Tories could not even salvage the situation by quickly turning to Boris Johnson. Too late. There is no more patience for such a moderate.

At the same time the establishment has been declaring Farage a "racist," a "Nazi," an "extremist," and so on, the majority of the people support him. At the same time they have been demanding he be silenced, and deplatforming and even jailing people with similar opinions left and right. Or rather, right to moderate left. But such labels hardly even matter any more.

The ruling class have, in other words, lost the confidence of the people. The BBC has lost the confidence of the people. The Conservative Party has lost the confidence of the people. The Labour Party has lost the confidence of  the people. The academy has lost the confidence of the people. The schools have lost the confidence of the people. They are locked in their palace, talking only to themselves. Nobody else is listening.

The rise of Farage's Brexit Party is a sudden and dramatic, even historically unprecedented, turn. When Brexit passed, it was a surprise to almost everyone. It passed by only a thin margin.

But now the lines seem to have emerged plainly: it is not "left" vs. "right." There is no "alt-right." That was always a fraud. It is the people vs. the government and the grey elite.

Let's just hope Britain ends up being run by someone as responsible as Nigel Farage. Revolutions rarely end well.

But the fault lies, in the beginning and the end, with the corrupt establishment which forces things to such a pass rather than surrender power.
